rooster 2

I need to replace the middle section of the plastic chrome strip that is just above the bumper. I know about removing the nuts from the studs, but how does the middle section unclip from the end sections that wrap around the corners of the car? Do the clips joining the sections simply pry off, or slide back to release the middle section? Any help is gretly appreciated. ..........Rooster

if I just remove all attaching nuts from plastic chrome strip, will I be able to slide apart?

I think you need to remover the bumper, because I think there's screws behind it. Check with someone else, but I definately remember removing them after the bumper on mine.

Either way, removing the bumper is a joke on these cars... Why the avoidance?

there are a few white plastic nuts IIRC that you have to remove the cover to get to.. pain in the azz but i had to do it to do some body work...
